You know that feeling you get when someone annoys you so much? Like, Ugh, this person is so annoying!đ A family member, a colleague, a flatmate. Itâs almost always one of them, because of proximity, for one. It gets frustrating, but I just realised something worseđ
Remember that time when you were furious with yourself for something you said or did to someone? It got you so pissed you almost couldnât stand yourself? Then it left you wondering why on earth you did that. Yep. It happend to me last week and all I could think about was giving myself a big old slap to relieve my self-inflicted anger and frustration. But the worse part is I couldnât do it, so I was stuck with my anger and with myself, who I didnât want to have anything to do with at that moment. Lol. As if itâs possible to not have anything to do with yourselfđ.
It got me thinking. If I can offend and get angry at myself, how much more will a person who isnât me, offend me? I know my likes and dislikes, so how do I somehow still upset myself sometimes? If I could do that to myself, what about another person doing same to me?
It made me look at offense and conflict differently. The thing is, whenever thereâs more than one person, thereâs bound to be offenses here and misunderstandings there because people see things differently, and guess the funny part? They have conflict with themselves, too! Talk less of having it with someone elseđ . What would be concerning is if there wasnât any form of misunderstanding between people living or working in the same space, because are yâall living in each othersâ heads out here and practising telepathy or something? Unless itâs enabled by the Holy Spirit, because thereâs that, too. You never know.đ
Anyway, back to what I was sayingâtyping, actuallyâ¨ď¸. Itâs not uncommon for people working or living together to misunderstand or disagree with each other. All that matters is how we handle these types of situations. So hey, youâre excused if you get on my nerves sometimes. I mean, I get on them myself, too, once in a while. And I probably do the same to you. But then you probably also get on your nerves, too sometimes so letâs all just bear with each other and live in peace, amen?đâ¤ď¸
